The new and unique PrecisionPlus™ architecture
of the Xaar 501 builds on Xaar’s incredibly successful Hybrid Side
Shooter™ architecture. This new architecture optimises the actuator
performance giving more uniform drop formation across the print swathe
and therefore exceptional print quality for stunning graphics.
PrecisionPlus
architecture flips the PZT’s (Piezo actuators) supporting substrate on
its side so the PZT is on the edge of a rigid block of substrate. This
architecture means that there is more stiffness in the z axis (better
support for the PZT).
This Xaar 501 GS8 OR is suitable for oil-based printers with a recirculation ink system.
The
ability to print high viscosity or heavily pigmented inks such as
white becomes a practical reality with TF Technology® in Pulsed mode or
High Flow mode. Any debris or air bubbles in the printhead are
continuously cleared from the rear of the nozzles and removed.
The
Xaar 501 GS8 OR has a WFG (wide format graphic) nozzle guard which is
closer to the actuator providing protection from substrate damage. This
nozzle guard wraps around the front of the actuator.
The Xaar
501 GS8 OR can be used as a replacement to Xaar 500/40 printheads
(discontinued). An ICM (Interface connection module) enables X500/40
based printers to communicate with Xaar 501 printheads. The ICM requires
a waveform loaded onto it by Xaar. In many cases, the ink system of
the Xaar 500/40 based printer will also need some modification as Xaar
500 printheads has 4 ink feeds whereas Xaar 501 printheads have 1 ink
feed). Our engineer team can help implementing these changes to migrate
existing printers from 500/40 to 501 printheads.
